gift registry dilemma

My fiance and I, marrying June 4th 2011,  share a love and passion for traveling and have already booked our honeymoon to central Europe.  Neither of us have been overseas yet, and the trip is pretty elaborate.  Since both of us have lived on our own for a long time and  have everything we need, my question is:   is it tacky for us to put the travel agency as our registry ?(they have this option there for people to purchase gift cards).  this is a gift we would appreciate and use as opposed to a registry at a store.  We were also thinking of, in addition to the travel registry, having an option to donate to a cause close to our hearts. 
I am uncomfortable asking for any gifts anyway, so am paranoid that planning an elaborate honeymoon, and then "asking for travel gift cards" is bad etiquette.  We can afford this trip on our own, but I know not everyone will know that.
Thanks for any advice!!

  • I wouldn't register and then apply any cash you are given to your HM fund or donate it yourselves to the charity.

  • I'd make a very small registry (maybe some picture frames or vases?) and use the money.  I think Honeymoon registries are incredibly tacky.

  • Cash and checks tend to be the most common wedding gifts, why not just put that towards your honeymoon and charity?
